(单词翻译:单击)

 The doctor finally reached his table at a dinner, after breaking away from a woman who sought advice on a health problem. 

  Do you think I should send her a bill? the doctor asked a lawyer who sat next to him. 
  Why not? the lawyer replied. You rendered1 professional services by giving advice. 
  Thanks, the physician said. I think I'll do that. 
  When the doctor went to his office the next day to send the bill to the woman, he found a letter from the lawyer. It read: 
  For legal services, $50. 
  大夫在打发走了一个就健康问题向他咨询的妇女之后,最后来到餐桌上。 
  你认为我应该向她收费吗?大夫问坐在身边的一个律师。 
  有什么不应该?律师答道,你通过提建议提供了职业性服务。 
  谢谢,大夫说道,看来我得这么做。 
  第二天当大夫去办公室给那位妇女写账单时,他收到律师的一封信。信中写道: 
  请付法律服务费50美元。
